The trade and distribution of therapeutic products is increasingly complex, with regulatory requirements varying significantly across markets.
The 2026 International Bar Association Healthcare and Life Sciences Law Committee Annual Survey provides a global review of key rules and trends governing the movement of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices in and across 67 jurisdictions.
Beth Weinman, life sciences regulatory and compliance counsel at Ropes & Gray and North America regional forum liaison officer for the IBA Healthcare and Life Sciences Law Committee, served as coeditor of the survey with Markus Schott.
Ropes & Gray attorneys authored the US chapter, which covers the regulatory framework, product classification, licensing and authorization requirements, import and export controls, labeling, serialization and anti-counterfeiting requirements, pricing and reimbursement, enforcement powers, sanctions, and recent developments.
The US chapter was authored by Beth Weinman and health care associates Jake Fulton and Brittany DiBiaggio.
